“How is Ottawa recovering these funds? Partly by clawing back payments through support programs, such as it did with the Canada Child Benefit starting in March. […] these clawbacks are hitting […] single mothers and those living on disability benefits.” theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…

Nadia Nadeem (Staff Immigration Lawyer – Neighbourhood Legal Services): "Sometimes there is not a clear line of what is trafficking, and that can make it extremely difficult."
Housing that people can afford, solves homelessness. We must demand that the gov build thousands of RGI units while also ensuring millions of $ for immediate supports for unhoused people. City has done number 1 on this list. There are 6 more we need to demand.
@HealthForAllNow and @nlstoronto are fundraising to support a legal challenge to the Government of Ontario’s recent cancellation of health care coverage for people who are uninsured, including people with precarious or no immigration status. Please share! canadahelps.org/en/pages/ohip-…

Many asylum seekers in Toronto that have been stranded on the streets of the city for weeks have been relocated in two churches and temporary hotel rooms. Loly Rico, Executive Director of the FCJ Refugee Centre, talked about it on CBC Morning Live. 👇 fcjrefugeecentre.org/2023/07/toront…
It’s an honour and a privilege to return to @ombudsmanTO to set up the new housing unit.
ANNOUNCEMENT: We are pleased to share that Reema Patel is joining our office as Toronto's first Deputy Ombudsman (Housing), leading a new housing unit that will oversee the fairness of the City of Toronto's housing policies and programs. More info here: ow.ly/Qsi150Ph57C
Pitting asylum seekers against "domestic" unhoused people is a false — and dangerous — dichotomy. Vulnerable groups do not siphon resources from one another; rather, those that hold power — governments — withhold resources from everyone. All homelessness is a policy choice.
